Voting Process
Proposals or issues requiring a vote must be made publicly available for discussion on the Governance Committee Google Group forum prior to the next Governance Committee meeting instance. It is the submitter's responsibility to start a vote after this discussion during the next instance of a Governance Committee meeting. Voting should always occur in writing on the OpenLMIS Governance Committee Google Group forum. The Secretary will start a topic in the Google Group with the details and relevant links, and members should vote by replying to that topic. The vote must be open for a minimum of one business week.
Primary voting members of the Governance Committee will vote in writing following the process noted above. If the primary voting member is unavailable, the alternate will vote in their place, noting that the primary was unavailable. That vote will be considered valid and binding. If an organization misses a vote due to lack of participation in either the call or on the forum or both, or votes after the period has closed, their vote will not be considered.
Once all votes have been received during the voting period, a proposal will be considered accepted if it receives a majority of votes. The chair gets a vote and is responsible for adjudicating should there be a voting dispute.
